Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The mode select switch (MSS) communicates the operator's choice to the 4WD control module (GEM). The 4WD control module (GEM) controls the shift solenoid, transfer case motor and pulse vacuum hublocks (PVHs) as necessary. If the vehicle is not responding to the operator's intentions, systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs of the MSS and the 4WD control module (GEM). Check all circuits for opens and shorts to power or ground.
